Are you looking for a fun and creative activity that you can do during cold and rainy winter days? We have put 5 fun activities on paper for you.
1. Paint by Numbers: paint and numbers
One of the best hobbies (or so we thinkitself) is Paint by Numbers. Paint by Numbers is a hobby that has been around for decades. With the painting numbers you will receive various parts to paint a beautiful painting. You will receive brushes, a canvas and paint. The paint pots have numbers on them, such as a number 4. Find the number 4 on the canvas and repeat these steps until you have painted all the numbers.

2. Diamond painting: rhinestones and numbers
Another fun hobby is x-tinymce/html Diamond Painting. Diamond painting has emerged since 2015 and is similar to Paint by Numbers. Instead of paint and brushes, you will receive a diamond painting pen and stones (also called diamonds). Place each diamond in the right place and create a beautiful diamond painting. Today you have a huge choice of different types of designs. Did you know that you can also get your diamond painting own photo?

3. Embroidery: needle and thread
We stick to diamond painting and Paint by Numbers. We're going to briefly talk about embroidery. Embroidery has been around much longer than Paint by Numbers. When embroidering, you work with a needle and thread instead of paint, brushes, diamonds and a diamond painting pen. Nowadays you can embroider anything, such as animal motifs, but also your own photo.

4. Crafts
Another fun activity to do is crafts. The word crafting is very broad, but how about the following suggestions?
- Making origami: You can use angels, stars, flowers, cones or abstract onesmaking figures from paper, newspapers and book pages to shape them creatively with beads and colours.
- Making toilet paper mandala: Using scissors, cut rings of five to ten millimeters from the cardboard of the toilet rolls and fold and crease them into different shapes or join the rings by sliding them into each other. You can then use your shapes to create a mandala, glue the individual rings together and spray paint, paint or leave them in their natural look.
